Custom Porch Builder in Athens, GA
Thoughtfully Designed Porches by Archadeck of Athens
A great porch should feel like it’s always been part of your home – not like an add-on. At Archadeck of Athens, we design and build custom porches for homeowners throughout Athens, Watkinsville, Bogart, Winterville, and surrounding areas who want a space that’s comfortable, functional, and built to last.
Whether you’re looking for a simple covered porch or a fully finished screened-in retreat, our team focuses on quality craftsmanship, smart design, and clear communication from start to finish.
Porches Designed Around How You Actually Live
Most homeowners don’t come to us asking for “a porch.”
They come to us because they want:
- A shaded spot to drink coffee in the mornings
- A comfortable place to host friends and family
- A way to enjoy the outdoors without bugs
- More usable living space without moving
- A porch that finally matches the style of their home
That’s where our process starts – listening first. We take the time to understand how you want to use the space, then design a porch that fits your home, your routine, and your budget.
Types of Porches We Build
Screened-In Porches
Screened porches are one of the most popular projects we build in the Athens area. They allow you to enjoy the outdoors while staying protected from bugs and harsh sun. Homeowners often add:
- Tongue-and-groove ceilings
- Ceiling fans and lighting
- Fireplaces or heaters
- Durable, low-maintenance flooring
- Custom trim and finishes
Covered Porches
A covered porch gives you protection from rain and strong sun while keeping an open-air feel. These work especially well for:
- Outdoor dining areas
- Grilling and entertaining
- Lounge seating
- Outdoor TVs
Front Porches
A front porch can completely change the look and feel of your home. We design front porches that improve curb appeal while still feeling like they belong with the original architecture.
Larger & Multi-Zone Porches
Some homeowners want more than just one seating area. We also design larger porches and combination spaces that include room for dining, relaxing, and gathering – all within a single cohesive layout.
Porches Built for Georgia Weather
Porches in Northeast Georgia deal with heat, humidity, storms, and everything in between. That’s why we focus on:

Frequently Asked Questions About Porches in Athens, GA
How much does it cost to build a custom porch in Athens, GA?
The cost of a custom porch depends on size, materials, roof structure, and features like fireplaces, lighting, or screens. Most projects fall into a wide range, which is why we offer free design consultations to provide accurate pricing based on your goals.
What’s the difference between a screened porch and a covered porch?
A screened porch includes mesh panels to keep out bugs while allowing airflow. A covered porch has a solid roof but open sides. Many homeowners in the Athens area choose screened porches for comfort during warmer months.
